- Hi!
-
- I accidentally read some of the documentation that comes with xfig (..) and found
- that a program to convert postscript files to xfig files would be worth having.
- The program pstoedit does just that along with converting it to a couple of other formats
- that probably isn't too useful on the amiga at the moment (tgif and mif format).
-
- This version is compiled with SAS/C and an arexx script has been added, so there
- is no need for 'sh' or any other unix commands. It uses ghostscript,
- so you'll still need that.
-
- If you have all the programs needed you can write:
-
- sh pstoedit -f xfig tiger.ps
-
- or rx pstoedit.rexx tiger.ps
-
- If you use the unix script you have to edit the resulting fig file
- by removing the duplicate header:
-
- #FIG 3.1
- Portrait
- Flush Left
- Inches
- 1200 2
-
- Other than that it actually seems to work!
-
- To edit the resulting file you'll want to get the latest version of my port
- of xfig (xfig9d.lha) or eh..um..the AmiWin version of xfig..
